Well, I thought one time I heard it is bad to clean computer case fans with compressed air, b/c its bad for the fan motor when the fan blade spins while spraying it with canned air? Please help!

O my bad I was in a hurry to type this I meant will I lose Hard drive data when upgrading. Thanks for the answer

Hi, I'm building my first pc and I was wondering if I bought oem vista from newegg and used the free upgrade coupon it comes with to get windows 7 , when upgrading from vista to 7 will cpu data or anything be affected? I'll wait for 7 oem if I have to but if it's safe to buy vista oem and...

Hi so for my first build I can get an antec 900 for $100 or antec 902 for $122. Is it worth the extra money I don't really care about the fan control (I don't have a problem going into the case to switch the fans), the black finish is fine though it doesn't matter to me one way or another. The...

I was wondering which case is better, I don't want to add any fans I just want to pick one and use it! So for what each comes with which one is the best value? There's about a $ 10 difference at my local store.

I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104073 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166 Which should I get thanks

No I'm talking about this cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471 (which is am2+ socket)and putting it in a board that supports am2 and am2+ socket would I be able run the memory standard of 1066?

So i will be getting the am2+ amd 540 procesor. If I get a mobo that supports am2/am2+ can I buy ram and run the mobo memory standard which is DDR2 1066?

have the corsair 520hx with a fan on the bottom of the psu. I was considering getting the antec 300 case b/c of it only being $55 with free shipping. Though their is no psu vent and I don't really want to flip the psu. Look at the second review on this link...

I ended up getting the modular for simplicity thanks to everyone for their help.

I really like the coolmaster 690 though I'm going to wait for it to be $70 with free shipping on newegg cause I'm a budget and I'm planning on getting the amd phenom 2 x3 720.

Ya thats what I was thinking are they any good cases with a bottom psu anyone could recommend with a vent so I can keep the psu fan facing down in the $50 area thanks?

Thanks.

Ok thanks.

Ya, do you think all the extra cables would fit snug in a extra drive bay lol first time builder or does anyone else have a alternate opinion on modular psus thanks.
